Want to love it but for the price it could have been much better
Color: Phantom Gray
This is one of the most expensive chargers I have bought in a long time, but given it comes from Anker, a very reputable and trusted brand with top quality, I bit the bullet and had high expectations.
It is a unique design whereby it uses an LCD screen to display the charging wattage in real-time for 3 devices, and also connects via bluetooth to the Anker app for customization and charging data visualization. The design is elegant (would have been even nicer to have different color options for the metal arms) and as unique as the price, while it seems to work really well with the tested Apple Watch Ultra 3 and an iPhone 17 Pro Max plus a case of Apple AirPods.
The best feature of the phone charger part is peltier cooling, the latest advancement in optimized wireless charging, which uses a built-in peltier cooling system with a fan and thus prevents the phone from overheating which in turn extends battery life. So given the phone charger is 25W and to assist in the cooling, there is a built-in fan behind the phone charging puck and while not very loud it is audible at night in a very quiet room like a bedroom. If placed on an office desk I am sure you would not hear it. The unit also has a night mode accessible via a touchscreen that stops the fan completely for full silence, but also reduces the charging power and cooling to compensate. The LCD display shows real-time charging power for each device and also has a "screen saver" that shows a clock if so desired with 3 themes. Of course there is Bluetooth as well so the Anker app can be used to remotely see the status of the charger and change some settings but you have to be in Bluetooth range.
I knocked off one star for the high $180 price, which I think is excessive, as well as for the fact that the Apple watch charger is limited to 5W. Given the price and that it is a brand new product, Anker should have accounted for the new Apple Watch Ultra 3 models fast charging capabilities, and reviewed Apple's tests with high-power chargers.
Anker support is as always outstanding, and overall this is a very high-end and elegant looking charger, but be aware of the nuances mentioned. I am going to keep it for use in my office but not in my bedroom.
